    An average rider travelling at 40 KPH will have 2kg of drag pulling him/her backwards. You can train hard to produce more power to overcome this, you can spend a fortune on equipment which will itself be generating about 500 grams of drag, or you can optimize your body position in a wind tunnel…which may be the single best way of reducing drag and increasing performance. And because most people have never given any consideration to their body shape in the wind, the exciting thing is that we can find up to a 20% improvement!
